I have been working on my thesis for 18 months. That's right you heard me 18 months. I think this month I will finally finish it, but I must say that I hate my thesis. Even a year ago I was fascinated by the topic, but now all I care about is getting my committee to accept it and let my defend it. It's sad really, the things I learned from doing my thesis are going to make me a better professor and researcher, but I may never read it again after I finally defend it. Anyways, that is all I have to say today.
